Can anyone advise me on a leak I have from a blue plug temp sensor on the right hand side of the engine block?
Its located on the left hand side of the air filter box under the plastic intake pipe.
I got an o ring from the dealer (£3.50)!!!!!! And it looks like its just held in the a circlip. I just wanted to check before starting and loosing all of the coolant which has only just been replaced
Cheers

Be real careful removing that clip if the housing is black plastic (some are metal) the plastic snapped on mine, not fun to fix!

I'm just gonna say carefully, I think I broke mine when waggling it a bit to get the sensor out.
If you focus on just removing the clip squatley and carefully I'm sure it'll be fine.

Im thinking for an extra tenner I might as well swap it for the sensor as well I can guarantee if I just solve the leak the sensor will go straight after
